His highly anticipated debut album, Peace of Mind, out today, showcases who Whiss is as an artist through introspective lyrics and collaborations with his closest friends such as Murda Beatz, Jimmy Prime, Donnie, and Puffy L'z. Peace of Mind is classic, authentic hip hop packed with raw honesty, loyalty, and perseverance. Like the Jay-Z and Nas albums that guided him in his youth, Whiss shares his story in a language his audience can understand on this powerful debut album. Listen to Peace Of Mind BELOW. “With this album, I wanted any listener to have a real, in-depth look into who I am as a person and as a man,” says Whiss. “I’ve always wanted to use my platform to get through to people who may have a similar upbringing to mine because music and certain artists have helped me navigate through life and become who I am today.” Whiss’s most personal song on the album, “Mind In A Maze”, is one he calls “the song I’ve always wanted to make. I hope people can take what they can from it.” The substance of Whiss’s rhymes are undeniable in the song he calls his favourite of his career: I think I'm goin crazy, I might need a therapist Music has always been a passionate outlet that Whiss and the Prime Boys have built their community upon as they grew up together in Toronto’s Esplanade neighbourhood. That loyalty and support for each other is evident on several tracks throughout Peace of Mind including “Left Me For Dead” featuring Jimmy Prime and the previously released singles, “Lay Low” featuring Donnie and “Valet” featuring Puffy L’z. Kicking off the album is the Murda Beatz and Cu Beatz produced track, “Don’t Change On Me”, which sets the tone for the record with Whiss’s ambition dominating bar after bar: I'm goin places and it's obvious (hell yeah) Always planning the next project, Jay Whiss is continuously bringing fire tracks with meaningful lyrical weight, proving the depth of his artistry and his passion for music. Peace of Mind is available now on all digital service platforms via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company.
